How Helios Are Making ISRU Technology To Extract Minerals From Lunar And Martian Soil
Read the interviewMission
Helios develops space resources technologies, specifically to extract oxygen and metals from the lunar soil. The big space agencies, SpaceX, Blue Origin etc all aim to establish a permanent lunar base in the coming decade and one of the main bottlenecks is the extremely high cost of sending materials from earth to the moon. The only viable way to realize this endeavour is by utilizing resources on site and dramatically reducing the cost of sourcing materials for the base.
